Perhaps a minor point, but Henry Davis, Jr worked WITH Pete as a council member, not for Pete as an employee. The actual interview has a different title than your post, and it does convey a slightly different meaning. It isn't unusual for there to be some contention between council members and a mayor. He also ran against Pete and was defeated in the mayoral primary. That's not to say that his concerns are invalid, but Henry Davis, Jr. does have his own controversial history locally.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
